Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to healthcare magic.
After reading your query and thoroughly analyzing your pictures I can very well reassure you that you are not suffering from any type infection at present.
Your condition is simply related to mild to moderate redness which is quite common in this area because of the friction during sexual intercourse.
To explain you medically and scientifically- our penile skin is one of the thinnest skin on the body. It is such a thin skin that even the blood vessels are visible under it. The same thing is present in yourself also where due to friction the redness in form of prominent blood vessels became visible. Adding to it, the thinnest skin of the body over
glans is also sensitive to the friction plus the chemicals in day to day life such as by soaps and the lubricants in condoms as well as the rubber in condoms. All these factors also lead to the kind of problem which you are facing.
In your case the redness appeared immediately 1 hour after the intercourse. There is no infection known in this world which can occur in hours period!!!
So relieve your
anxiety about any kind of infection. At present there is no component of
fungal infection too, so there is no need to apply anti-fungal cream also.
For the management of the same kindly follow the suggestions below:
- Wash your penile area for two times in a day with plane water. Wash it very gently but properly. It is quite important to retract your skin fully backwards and then wash the area.
- After every sexual intercourse/
masturbation too, wash the area properly.
- Wear cotton undergarments. Change these two times a day. Do not wear any synthetic or tight garments.
- Avoid intercourse for few days. Preferably do not masturbate for few days. When starting again then be gentle and do not be vigorous in the act.
Overall it is nothing to be worried about. It is a common condition which we see quite often in our day to day practice. With good hygiene maintenance it can be cured very easily. You can apply coconut oil later on when the redness gets reduced but not in these 2-3 days.
I hope this clears all your doubts. Tell me if you have any further quires.
Wish you good health
